This morning Marcia and I read Psalm 121. It is so appropriate to how we feel and what we're doing.

 

Today we traveled from Walla Walla to Deadman Creek Outfitters at Central Ferry Washington. We've found on previous rides that many restaurants have closed making it difficult to eat at any regular interval. Today was no exception and we pedaled 30 miles to Dodge where we finally found a suitable fine dinning establishment.

Another fine dinning experience

After breakfast we finally connected with another touring cyclist who we had been leap frogging but not connecting throughout the morning. It seems that no matter what you do, you can always find someone else doing the same and a bit more. His name is Jeff Skinner who started in Alaska and is on his way home to Florida. You can find him on "Crazy guys on a bike" and search for his name.

Jeff Skinner bike tourist extraordinaire

 

Deadman Creek Outfitters has a comfortable place for our tent and provides hot showers. We'll soon be cooking supper consisting of a one pot meal of rice, broccoli, cheese and pepperoni. What more can a person want?

The countryside is a bit greener now with a few trees consisting of several wheat fields. We could smell the grain as we pedaled and it reminded me of an old barn filled with hay. It was great.

Miles today = 65

Total miles 524
